CUSD superintendent Bayless is a finalist for a job in Massachusetts

No real surprise. In 2002, the press release went out that he had accepted a position with the county department of education. http://www.almanacnews.com/morgue/2002/2002_06_12.snote12.html What do you figure he was offered in exchange for staying with CUSD?
